ahrefs Release Notes

A new Content Helper Topics endpoint has been released. It identifies the topics covered by top-ranking pages for a keyword and can score a target URL against them.

The default value of traffic_mode on Site Explorer API endpoints has changed from static to adaptive. Pass traffic_mode=static explicitly to continue using the previous organic traffic calculation model.

The search_volume_type=keyword_volume option remains available on Brand Radar API endpoints until Sep 30, 2026.

After that date, all requests will use AI-adjusted volume.

The Brand Radar prompts endpoint now returns each prompt's tags field. A new Update Brand Radar prompts endpoint lets you update the countries and tags assigned to prompts.

We've made codebase improvements which should result in faster load times across charts in Site Explorer Overview and Site Explorer Top pages reports.

These changes also mean that "data heavy" domains, which previously may have been slow to process, now load smoothly. We expect to bring these improvements to other Ahrefs products in the near future.

The SA Project Issues endpoint now returns AI Discoverability as an issue category.

The SE AI responses count endpoint now supports all_platforms in select and returns its combined citations and pages counts.

The substring and isubstring filter operators are no longer supported for the search_queries field in Brand Radar API endpoints. Use phrase_match or iphrase_match instead.

The SE Crawled pages endpoint now returns languages, page_category, page_type, and publish_date fields. These fields can also be selected, filtered, and used to order results.

The Comments Inbox in our Social Media Manager tool now shows likes and replies per comment, allowing users to prioritize high-engagement replies.

Comments can also be sorted by either metric.

We now extract entities from all AI responses in Ahrefs Brand Radar to help avoid false positives for ambiguous names such as Apple or Notion. Users can match each brand term as an entity or plain text.

In Prompt details, all extracted entities have a dotted underline. The filter builder now includes Response entity, and Overview has a new Top entities widget.

The Batch Analysis endpoint now supports the top_countries parameter to return up to 10 countries in the org_traffic_top_by_country field.

Reusing existing reports in Report Builder can sometimes be a frustrating experience, as you need to update each widget manually. Now, you can update all widgets at once with the new "Bulk edit widgets" button.

This allows you to edit Projects, Targets, Portfolios, Brands (+ competitors in Brand Radar widgets), and Competitors (Site Explorer widgets).

The substring and isubstring filter operators are no longer supported for the topic field in Brand Radar API endpoints. Use phrase_match or iphrase_match instead.

Enterprise users can now use Keywords Explorer in All locations for international keyword research. This enables users to compare keyword metrics across locations, discover keyword ideas in different languages, explore top ad domains globally, and much more.

After this release, we'll work on supporting multiple keywords, a full ads history report, and traffic share reports.

Enterprise customers can now share Site Explorer filter presets with teammates, just like they share projects, keyword lists, and other items.

Presets stay private by default, just like in other tools. Private presets remain visible in all workspaces, just as they've always worked. When shared, a preset becomes tied to the workspace it's shared in and remains visible only there.

Previously, all calendars in the Ahrefs UI started on a Sunday.

Now, every language defaults to either Sunday or Monday, which you can change in Preferences.
